root not allowed to use crontab

There were some CVS version errors that caused this
problem - this is now fixed with vixie-cron-4.1-16 .
1. If neither /etc/cron.{allow,deny} exist,
ONLY root may use crontab (and now may do so!)
2. If no /etc/cron.{allow,deny} exist when the package
is installed, the %post script will create an
empty /etc/cron.deny file, thus allowing all users
by default, the way the old cron used to work.
